Very little checking is performed on the validity of freelist
metadata. Add a magic field to struct arena_header which can be used
to detect memory corruption or whether a user tries to free something
that isn't a malloc pointer.

This feature can be enabled with -DDEBUG_MALLOC. Turn it on for
development in mk/devel.mk.

DOS actually does provide the fully qualified pathname to the
executable, which would be useful to make ldlinux.c32 data rather than
live inside the executable itself -- it has gotten too large.

Also, move some DOS internals -- inline functions only used inside the
dos directory -- out of libinstaller.

<title>mk/embedded.mk: Don't use -mregparm in core</title>

<content type='text'>
Unfortunately commit 4eb06d95d882 ("mk: Add -fPIC for x86_64 to
embedded.mk") left -mregparm enabled when compiling objects in core/,
which means that when compiling for i386 those objects are compiled
with a different ABI compared with everything else, leading to hangs
when booting under 32-bit EFI.

We should only enable -mregparm for code that absolutely requires it,
such as dos/crt0.S which would need to be re-written to use another
ABI.

<title>Add per-firmware object directory support</title>

<id>1408e6ca7b3854d94aaa39612b4bb6fdf9111dc7</id>
<content type='text'>
Now that we have multiple firmware backends it no longer makes sense
to write object files to the same directory as their source. A better
solution is to write the object files to a per-firmware directory
under a top-level object directory.

The top-level object directory can be specified on the command-line
with the O= variable, e.g. make O=/tmp/obj. If no top-level object
directory is specified an 'obj' directory is created in the top-level
of the Syslinux source repository.

All the existing make targets continue to work as before, however now
they apply to all firmware backends, e.g. 'make installer' will build
the BIOS, 32-bit EFI and 64-bit EFI installers and place them under
$(OBJ)/bios, $(OBJ)/efi32 and $(OBJ)/efi64 respectively.

Note unlike every other bit of Syslinux, the gpxe objects are still
kept in the src directory, e.g. gpxe/src, since gpxe is only required
by the BIOS backend.

It is possible to specify a make target for a specific firmware or
list of firmware with the following syntax,

    make [firmware[,firmware]] [target[,target]]

To clean the object directory for just the BIOS firmware type,

      'make bios clean'

To build both the 32-bit and 64-bit EFI installers type,

     'make efi32 efi64 installer'

Since the Syslinux make infrastructure is now more complex a new file
doc/building.txt has been created to explain how to build Syslinux.

The top-level Makefile now exports some make variables for use in
module Makefiles,

    - topdir - the top-level source directory of the Syslinux
      repository, e.g. /usr/src/syslinux

    - objdir - the top-level object directory for the firmware
      backend currently being built, e.g. /obj/syslinux/bios

    - SRC - the source directory in the Syslinux repository for the
      module currently being built,
      e.g. /usr/src/syslinux/com32/libupload

    - OBJ - the object directory for the module currently being
      built, e.g. /obj/syslinux/bios/com32/libupload

Since we're rewriting the Makefile infrastructure anyway it seemed
like a good idea to add parallel support. By writing subdirectories as
prequisites for make targets the objects in those subdirectories can
be built in parallel.

Move the standard definitions of constants, variously-sized ints,limits into

header files that in turn include bitsize32 or bitsize64 based on the architecture.
The makefiles should build pick the right ones based on architecture.

Files com32/include/sys/cpu.h, com32/include/sys/bitops.h now have
architecture specific files underneath to define relevant macros definitions.

com32/include/setjmp.h has architecture specific counterparts underneath.

ssize_t in dos/stdlib.h is appropriately defined based on architecture to be able

Remanants of the unused old i386-only files, if any, need to be pruned.
